The Secret Behind the Stuff: How We Source Smarter at The Wonder Company

When you open a Wonder Company activity pack, you’re probably thinking about the fun, learning, and laughter it’s going to spark — not how we got 3,000 pencils to your door without a hitch.

But, behind every book, sticker, and sporting kit is a sourcing process that’s as thoughtful and intentional as the activities inside.

So… how do we do it?

1. We Go Straight to the Source

We don’t go through layers of suppliers or middlemen. We work directly with manufacturers — and that means better prices, better quality control, and better communication. For you, that means reliable stock, faster turnaround times, and more value for your budget.

💡 What that means for you: We keep our costs low and pass those savings on to you — so you’re not paying inflated prices just to get a ball and a colouring pencil to your holiday club.

2. We Don’t Just Source Products — We Curate Experiences

Anyone can buy bulk arts and crafts. But we don’t stop at “cheap and cheerful.” Everything we source — from plantable pencils to foam balls — is purpose-driven and tested with real kids in mind. We think about how items will be used, how they fit with your activity goals, and what will make children light up with interest.

💡 What that means for you: You get engaging resources that actually get used — not wasted. It’s less landfill, more learning.

3. We’re Experts in Print & Fulfilment (So You Don’t Have to Be)

Whether it's a bespoke magazine, a branded sticker sheet, or a full-blown activity box — we’ve printed and packed it. And we’ve delivered it to businesses, school doors, council HQs, holiday club providers and children themselves, all over the UK.

💡 What that means for you: You don’t have to juggle five suppliers. We do it all — design, source, print, pack, deliver. Simple, seamless, sorted.

4. We Source Sustainably Where Possible

We’re not perfect — but we try to do things better. From recycled packaging to UK-based suppliers that reduce our carbon footprint, we look for ways to make your resources a little lighter on the planet.

💡 What that means for you: You get peace of mind knowing your resources don’t cost the earth — literally or figuratively.

Bottom Line?

We’ve spent 10+ years building trusted relationships with suppliers, manufacturers, printers, and logistics teams so you don’t have to.

Our sourcing isn't just about stuff. It’s about service, scale, and supporting you to do what you do best — helping children thrive.
